Sure lots found work. But CC’s misuse of bchydro funds before that made it necessary for the corporation to borrow ALL of the money to get it going.

Seven of the Ministry Critic roles require two Liberals to handle the positions? Does that mean it takes two Liberals to research and tackle one NDP MLA? Or does it mean those particular MLAs only plan on being there 50% of the time? :D

How are they worried about finances? The merged all available resource to manufacture balanced budgets, meanwhile ICBC is in trouble, BC Hydro is bleeding money to the point that the liberals would have said the BC would need to sell the dams, they should have focused on keeping the NDP accountable for responsible spending, ensuring that what they were spending on is in the best interest of the province.
